Speaking - The Future of Project Management

The Future of Project Management

If you have invested your career into project management then you are probably naturally curious as to what the profession has in store for the next 20 years. Despite a massive global growth in project management, the future is unclear. Despite this growth according to leading project management experts it is an immature discipline and the consequence of this is a significant gap between research and practice. The discipline lacks a unified theory and established body of research. Bodies of knowledge (BoKs) reflect process and technique yet frequently neglect the political, social and ethical dimensions of project management. As a profession it acts with little impunity, where a poor project trackrecord is rather inconsequential to career progress. This presentation highlights the necessary changes over the next 10 years that will provide the business world with a competent, professional and rigorous project management discipline.
